...one day I was speculating on how I would like to look back on life and I decided I wanted to feel that I was a photographer rather than a teacher. As simple as that.

Learn from the best; the second raters have nothing to offer.

These are the two basic controls at the photographer's command--positi on and timing--all others are extensions, peripheral ones, compared to them

The most important piece of equipment after the camera is a good pair of shoes.

My advice is: learn from the best or teach yourself. And do not bother at all if you do not have an exaggerated sense of curiosity.

This idea fascinates me. The idea that a few seconds of watching a photographer in action can tell you his/her status in the medium. And it's true. If you watch a photographer of merit working an event he/she does not look like an amateur.
